KUBIK FILMS SL

What KUBIK FILMS SL does

Kubik Films, S.L. is a Madrid-based Spanish audiovisual production company (Sociedad Limitada) founded in 2016 by brothers Jorge and Alberto Sánchez-Cabezudo and operating as part of the STUDIO TF1 / Newen Studios Group. The company develops, writes, directs, and produces premium Spanish-language drama series and feature films for major streaming platforms and broadcasters, with a catalog spanning the 2006 feature film 'La noche de los girasoles' through to the 2024 Disney+ miniseries 'Nos vemos en otra vida' and the 2025-in-production Movistar Plus+ series 'Matar a un oso'. Its core technology is conventional film and television production — professional cinematography, editing, and post-production workflows — executed by a small in-house team of roughly 10 people, including the founders, an executive producer, a production manager, a creative producer, and a scriptwriter/developer.

The business model is project-based professional services: Kubik Films earns revenue from production fees, co-production arrangements, and contingent backend participation when titles succeed, with each production typically commissioned by a single anchor platform such as Disney+, Movistar Plus+, Canal+ Spain, or ARTE France. Customer segments are exclusively enterprise buyers (streaming platforms, pay-TV broadcasters, European public broadcasters), and the value proposition centers on the founders' distinctive creative voice — noir-inflected thrillers with social commentary — backed by a track record of Feroz, Ondas, Biznaga de Plata, and Goya award recognition. Distribution and co-production financing flow through the STUDIO TF1 / Newen Studios parent group, while marketing relies on earned media from festival presence and Spanish press coverage rather than paid acquisition channels.

All production output is character-driven limited or serialized thriller drama aimed at adult audiences, with adaptations of literary or real-event source material (Rafael Chirbes' 'Crematorio', Manuel Jabois' 'Nos vemos en otra vida', the true Aran Valley bear-death case for 'Matar a un oso'). The go-to-market motion is sales-led and reputation-driven: the company secures commissions and co-production deals by leveraging the founders' prior award-winning work, relationships with A-list Spanish talent, and the infrastructure backing of STUDIO TF1, rather than through outbound sales processes or platform-agnostic IP.
